I'm 23 years old, living with my boyfriend, with a gaggle of pet rats. I'm a total geek; I love all things science fiction (Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate/Atlantis.. pretty much anything with star in the title ), video games (love the Legend of Zelda and FFIV), books (favorites are Harry Potter series and anything by Stephen King), etc. If it's geeky, I'm there. I'm a history major, and my favorite topic of study is World War II, after that, Ancient Rome. I'm trying to learn to play the guitar, but it's slow going. I'm basically a beginner at most crafts, as I've been more involved in straight-up art before I discovered the joy of crafting. One day I'd like to learn how to knit. I like neutral/earth tones, mostly; grays, dusty greens and pale yellow, etc. Overall, I tend to prefer things that are simplistic and understated, but I do have a sense of fun and like to be crazy once in a while.

hi! my name is Tasha and i am addicted to craftster swaps. what can i say, everyone makes the prettiest things! let's see... i'm originally from Ohio, and on a whim, we picked up and moved to Hilton Head Island, SC just around our 3 month anniversary. we decided about 2 weeks before his lease was up and just went for it. so it turned out we didn't like it there, so after a year, we moved to Wilmington, NC, as i'm a HUGE Dawson's Creek fan, and a (kind of) aspiring actress, and this is the third largest film producing city in the United States, so i thought i'd give it a shot. i have two adorable kittens who are brothers who get into EVERYTHING. no territory is left untouched for them. i began knitting in november and i love it. i dabble in paper arts and embroidery as well, and hope to get a sewing machine soon!

Hi! I'm Johanna, and I live in Austin, TX with my hubby and ginormous standard poodle. Even though it is hot here almost 9 months out of the year, I enjoy knitting and have a unruly love of yarn (which means I have a ton of it). But it's so pretty! I am teaching myself to crochet, but I'm not quite there yet. All the amigurumi animals are so cute that I want to learn how to make one. I would love to learn how to stencil. I seem to get stumped at making the stencil ... which part do i cut?

I like birds, bees, jellyfish, squid, robots, squirrels, owls, octopi, simple flowers, bunnies, deer, poodles, dachshunds, food with faces (like fruit and veggies or a wedge of cheese), trees, and a whole heck of a lot of other things. My favorite colors are green, dark brown, pink, but I wear mostly black or white t-shirts with jeans. I like natural fibers and fabrics. I don't think there's such a thing as too many purses, too many shoes and too much chocolate. I favor food and citrus scents, such as coffee, chocolate, ginger, lime, coconut, grapefruit. I love going to farmers' markets. Lately I have been really into Thievery Corporation, Aimee Mann, The Shins, The Cure, Iron & Wine, Band of Bees, Johnny Cash, and Air, but I like all kinds of music.
